This is a short request to all the users of the Net I can reach.
I and several friends have been assembling a list of "Noble
Rhetoric and Snappy Comebacks" from tv, movies, books, politics, etc.
as a hobby for sometime now and we've reached around 600 different
quotes in all.  I have noticed the vast number of quotes to be found
throughout the net in peoples' sig.s, quotes, etc. and I would like
to ask for some help from all the users of the Net world-wide.
If you have a suggestion for a quote that is funny, creative, etc.
and you feel fits in the category of "Noble Rhetoric" or "Snappy
Comeback" in some vague way, please e-mail the suggestion to me
with the word "QUOTE SUGGESTION" as the subject line.  Also,
to prevent my mail from being overloaded please, just send in the
quotes for the next week only.  Please don't send me anything
after that time, as I am posting to a few newsgroups at a time, a
new set each week.  This should slow down the flow of mail sufficiently
so that I can handle it.  I will post all quotes which I and my comrades
in crime decide to use and we will only use those which have proper
documention so that we may credit the source without getting in any
trouble.  Thanks in advance and your help is very much appreciated.

Grummy
